I've been in radio since 2001 and moved around a few times before landing where I am now. I'm married with three children. I'm an autism acceptance advocate. I love to cook, just don't like doing the dishes afterward. I have a knack for all things nostalgic from the '80s and '90s, love breakfast cereal a little too much and am a huge fan of video games, especially retro games from Atari to Nintendo and beyond.

MOD Pizza celebrates their birthday on November 22. To celebrate, every MOD Pizza location is donating a dollar per MOD-sized pizza sold to a local charity. Here, in Yakima, those dollars go towards our Children's Village.

Ferrero Rocher are about as fancy as you can get with a store-bought chocolate. They're a hazelnut and chocolate wrapped in a crisp chocolate layer and, more importantly, they're pretty good. This was the first year I've seen a Grand Ferrero Rocher so I thought I'd buy one to see what it was all about.

This time of year brings those ridiculously over-sized candy bars to store shelves. In years past I've seen the giant Snickers bars, giant Hershey's chocolate bars, giant York peppermint patties and even giant Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. This was the first time I ever saw the giant foil-wrapped chocolate coin so I had to get one and show it to my kids.

I was honored, once again, to be a part of the 13th annual Celebrity Turkey Bowling at Grocery Outlet. We saw representatives of the military, the police department, radio, TV, newspaper and more all bowling turkeys for charity. For every strike, Grocery Outlet donates a turkey to the charity of the team's choosing.

We've all been there, right? Still in high school or fresh out of graduation and you're looking for a job to earn your own money. Yakima has plenty of businesses and several of them employ many people so certainly they can make room for me, too, right? Well, in these instances, they didn't and look where they are now -- no longer in businesses.

Here are some places that didn't hire me and, coincidentally, they're no longer in business.

It's always a pleasure when we have celebrity guests in studio to talk about cool things happening around town. Today we had the Marines talking about Toys for Tots and how you can help ensure kids in our area have a merry Christmas.

No doubt one of the hottest Christmas gift items this year is the NES Classic Edition. It's a mini Nintendo Entertainment System that comes pre-loaded with 30 games and, at a $60, it's hard to find as a lot of people want one, myself included...

I recently attended an open house as my daughter's school when she showed me the test they all take for something about Smarter Balanced Assessments. Basically, it's a series of tests to ensure that the student is at or above grade level in their learning. What it showed me was if a child was capable of taking a high-pressure test with others in the same room. I don't think I could've taken this.
